I almost did these..Almost new 35" mud tires for sale because of, well, because I am a guy damnit..

I offered him 8, new they were 1100 local. He asked to meet at 9, and I told him no, I need tires, and these were not the tires i needed, I wasnt sure how long they would last. I went with BFG AT, I got 45000 out of the last set of them, and 23 of that was with the Stage 2's, and that is the BEST I have seen out of anything I have tried in the past on this truck..

The Funeral is for my Uncle who passed on Tuesday.. I still havent heard any plans for a service. I havent even heard of a GTG, and we have family in from out of state, hmm, I wonder if I should take the hint?

well you would've gotten half that outta those mud grapplers, haha. but they sure do look rad, i'll agree with that!!

wonder how those AT's compare to the mickey thompson MTZ nowadays price-wise... the first set i had under my red truck (315's) i got over 65,000 out of before i blew one on the freeway when i hit something... the other three were still just off the wear bars.

I've always had good luck with BFG. Got 70k on a set of mud terrain, had sixty on the all terrains when I sold it with lots of tread left. Yes, I drive like an old man.........

I let all 5 walk. Lots of season to see what all come in. Nothing really interesting on the trail cam yet. Couple doe the other day. I moved it to a better spot now that I see where they move around back there.

Still blows my mind how an animal that big can move through the woods virtually not making a sound. The first of the 5 doe from this morning was about 15 yards from me when I first heard her. They hung out in there for about 30 minutes.

I need more corn.........

Nice, I have found them yet to do a price check local, I am paying 980 out the door for the BFGs, which is 200 less then when I bought them 3 years ago.

The mickey as 259 or more on line.

So you order them on line? what do they normally hit you for shipping?

These would be pretty damn fun..
